Because a film or television show, regardless of the quality, is to be experienced with full focus. You aren’t supposed to wander off or daydream when watching something. You are supposed to take in the characters, dialogue, cinematography, animation, etc., take in the story, and follow it. Escape into that world, not focus on anything else. That’s how you watch something.
Adhd is, for many of us, a disability. That means we aren’t able to do things the same way that people without disabilities can. You may as well say that deaf or blind people shouldn’t enjoy movies either, because they are unable to enjoy the cinematography or audio like “you’re supposed to”
That’s simply not true. You don’t HAVE to sit down and stop everything to enjoy a movie or film.
Grandma knitted through everything and still enjoyed it. So it dodn’t have to be seen. The same goes for vision impaired. The same goes for washing the dishes or any task on auto pilot.
I’m also sure the Spanish soap opera where a breakup scene goes for 5 episodes can be walked in and out of without someone coming back in and going “oh damn I’m so lost what’s happening.” Later seasons of Walking Dead are much the same. So is Big Bang Theory.
What about music? Must an album be listened to in full without doing anything? A radio song played out before turning off the car.
I digress. People can enjoy things in a different way to you my dude.
If you have a nuro spicy friend that won’t sit still and watch a movie from start to end with you maybe find something else to do.
But it feels like your not REALLY asking a question here and accepting answer’s. You just want to stand on a soapbox and say “THIS IS HOW I ENJOY AN ACTIVITY AND THINK IT IS DONE. YOU MUST DO IT LIKE ME”.
who the fuck are you to judge how someone else can spend their time when it has no impact on anyone else
I think you are reading way more in to their comment than intended.I recommend reevaluating your anger here.
